Awarded university status in 1991, ECU has since developed innovative and practical courses across a wide range of disciplines, established a vibrant research culture and attracted a growing range of quality research partners and researchers, many working at the cutting edge of their fields.

ECU has more than 21,000 students, with around 16,000 undergraduates and 5,000 postgraduates. Approximately 4,000 of these are international students originating from over 90 countries.

ECU works closely with private and public sector organisations, locally and overseas, in designing its study programs.

ECU is committed to breaking down barriers to education and is considered a pioneer in the development of alternative entry pathways to higher education, helping Western Australians reach their potential.  Many of these alternative pathways are helping to provide much-needed, skilled teaching and nursing graduates for Australian schools and hospitals.
